Is HTTPS completely secure?

No, HTTPS is not completely secure, but it is much safer. HTTPS encrypts data between your browser and a website, protecting against eavesdropping on public or shared networks, preventing interception. However, it does not protect against malicious websites, data misuse, or hacked servers. HTTPS ensures secure transmission, not trustworthiness of the site itself.

• Data is encrypted in transit.
• Websites can still be malicious.
• Security does not equal trust.
